Possible overkill...

So the local McDonalds apparenly burned down, and I wanted to check it out for myself. Actually I just wanted to drive because the weather was pretty decent today(39 degrees is MUCH better than -10).

Anyways, I'm at a red when a nice and shiny black Sky pulls up alongside of me. IMO, they don't look too bad so I'm glancing over at it, checking it out. I guess the driver thought I wanted to go so he guns it to the next red. Already getting a paltry 13 mpg, I just cruised and pulled alongside him again. Light goes green, I'm ready this time but I launch cautiously as to not evoke the anger of the ESP triangle. I dunno if he was ever ahead of me, but by the time I was at 70, he was pretty far back in my rear view mirror. Not much of a kill...

Oh well, he picked on me.
